Yesterday, I was visiting with a friend who told me this story. He's a runner and trains six times a week with his buddies. One day, a rabbit scurried onto the track. The men stopped to observe the furry running partner who was surprisingly unafraid of the humans. Apparently, the rabbit liked her new-found friends and was regularly sited on or near the track. After a bit of investigation, the men discovered a rabbit nest with a group of baby bunnies all huddled together. Lately, they've been observing the bunnies, but out of respect for the mama, they refrain from touching them. They've watched the mother rabbit nurse her babies and noted how the ground seems to breathe where the nest is located. To protect the rabbit family, they've placed a large plastic cone near the nest so the grounds crew doesn't accidentally disturb it. "These are the best-guarded bunnies in the country," my friend told me.Sadly, so are the runners. Each man is spending the prime years of his life in prison.
